Here Come More Perils from the Sea

What puts the wind in one man's sail

What makes the other snap off the train tracks and derail

What makes a man violating think that it's alright

To come on kiss his wife like it's nothing good now

How does a man get these sick coughin' sounds

When he once breathes so clear before he shot himself down

And thinking back at that far off look in your eyes

There was always a disconnect I couldn't pinpoint

Not long ago you were a hired gun

Till you became expendable, old and no fun

You lost your friends and you ran out of things to say

You watched batman on your 40th birthday

While your kids get skinny and cry for their dad

While their teeth fall out, turn yellow and black

While your eyebrows grow long and your belly gets big

While you become a grumpy old, frumpy old pig

You give your friend your faith and you give him your trust

Until you open your eyes and there they are red-handed busted

Just when I thought the parasites would leave me be

Here come more perils from the sea

What uplifts him and makes him fly so well

While the street pigeon breathes in a toxic chemical

Why does the universe bring both pleasure and pain

Why do you have to watch your bend like a knight in a chest

Why does the universe make us sick and frail

Why did the universe fail

What puts the lightness under one mans feet

While the other walks with a limp and slowly creeps

Diggin' around in the trash and diggin' through drawers

Crawlin' round like a dog on your basement floor
